[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 961360, member: 12607"] You can feed your way through or out of a parasite problem, but you can't deworm your way out of a malnutrition/feed deficiency problem. Calves down or 'falling out' while you're moving them, etc. - and with your admission that they've not had much to eat - suggests weakness due to malnutrition, but 'nervous coccidiosis' would also be a consideration. Definitely past time to have your veterinarian out - and a necropsy, even if it means sacrificing one of the worst calves - but make sure it's been exhibiting symptoms TYPICAL of what you've seen in the others - may well be in order. If these calves were banded - and had not been previously vaccinated with tetanus toxoid, you could see an 'outbreak' of tetanus 2-4 weeks out, but I wouldn't expect it this far out. [/QUOTE]
